Unfortunately PO madness extends even to web exclusives, because Bandai hates their customers.

I guess savings would be if the pre-order madness was too intense and got cart jacked! 😂

Good catch.

Edited the original post to reflect web exclusive.

The issue with proxies is that the number of slots a proxy have to purchase with Bandai are limited, so the proxy usually run out of slots fast.

The good news is if Bandai themselves sells out out this PO, they will open another round of POs for second batch, release usually a month or 2 after original batch.

But I think PO quantities for Macross web exclusive valks have never went past the first batch; only the VF-1 accessories Super Parts & missiles have had multiple batch release.

I saw July 2024 and my brain said " oh darn, that is next year, so it is long to wait" then realized "HEY! I am in 2024 right now!"

doh


These look a bit short? I hope they either include full length versions for fighter mode or have the removable option still there, as maybe we could re-purpose an extra set from the angel birds edition
I don't like the short tail fin design even if it is cannon

I'm dying to display one like the 1/72 Orange Collection one looks

None of the pics show the booster parts’ inner details, so can we expect a Mechanics Version down the road? :p

Vaca Santa.

This would be great to display next to the VF-1D

It is going to be a tough decision if I get it or nah. 2 DX releases on the same month, I got the 21 covered already tho.

No great fan of DYRL Valks out of the Elintseeker.

I’m sure it’s not a surprise to anyone here, but still unpainted landing gear. 
 

I remember when somebody mentioned it years ago and I was like “meh, no big deal”. But I have to admit, after looking at my old Yammie 1/48’s, white landing gear looks so much better.

Wow, You go away for a couple of hours, and Bandai hits you with a PO for the next day...🤪 Quick start for the 40th Anniversary...😍

Landing gear color doesn't matter to me.

My wallet hates me right now, given how soon this is happening after the YF-21 PO, but I'm not going to complain. DX VT-1? Yes, please! We usually get a week to prepare for PO Madness, but just a day? That's rare.

Just submitted my order request with my go-to proxy. Hope they come through.

Got cartjacked at BiJ.  Sold out super fast.  Got one at Yoykunow.  Never ordered from them before.  I hope they're legit/safe... :(
